Dog Biscuits

[JodyC]

I have some left over chicken and veggie soup that I thought would make a good base to make into dog biscuits but then I remembered that I used an onion and a small leek in about 8 litres of soup. I know that onion can be toxic to dogs but would this small amount ok or should it just be NO onion at all? I would hate to make my beautiful fur babies sick!! Thanks :)

Growing up our dog always had a bowl of stew with us children. It had onion in it & we never even know back then it was toxic for dogs so if its a bigger dog I can't see a little bit doing too much harm.

I also used to take him in the newsagents sometimes & he would beg at the counter until I bought him a tiny Mars Bar & gave it him. He died age 19.

Also thought garlic was supposed to be toxic for them too but lots of dog biscuits have garlic in them.

Thanks Christina, I have 2 small dogs, a 10 y/o Maltese X (who I imagine would be fine as she would have had left over stews etc as you say) I also have a 5 month old miniature poodle who's diet mainly consists of quality kibble and the odd chicken neck plus liver treats for training.

should be totally fine :)

Mine get leftovers- like our spaghetti bolognese etc which has small amount of onion. Never had an issue :)
